This baby blanket pattern is easy to memorize and crochet with a 2-row repeat. Using light weight yarn, the blanket is a nice weight for any baby! Using a color-changing yarn gives the blanket visual impact for very little effort! Use rainbow colors, as shown, or any colors of your choice.

This blanket is made with basic stitches: ch, sc, hdc and dc (as a Spike dc). Instructions are given for the Spike dc, along with step-by-step photos. A link to my YouTube video demonstrating the first 3 rows of the pattern is included in the pattern.

The pattern is fully written with symbol crochet charts for the body of the blanket and the edging on the blanket.
